This book celebrates and captures examples of the excellent scholarship that Palgrave's Health, Technology, and Society Series has published since 2006, and reflects on how the field has developed over this time. As an Anthology of readings drawn from twenty-two books, it is organized around five themes: Innovation, Responsibility, the Locus of Care, Knowledge Production, and Regulation and Governance. Structured in this way, the book gives the reader a concise but rich guide to the core issues and debates within the field. Complementing these narratives, the original authors have provided new reflection pieces on their texts and on their current work. This then is a book which in part looks back but also looks forward to emerging issues at the intersection of health, technology, and society. It goes beyond the traditional 'Reader' or 'Anthology' by encompassing and presenting a range of expertise in a novel way that is both timely and accessible for students and others new to the field. The book provides a full set of references, index and links to individual thematic sections via Palgrave's website.
